• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Greetings, all. After 8 months of rib building and spar measuring, I have all of the ribs glued on my lower "D" model wings and I'm about to drill the drag/anti-drag wire holes. The plans call for the holes to be offset from the centerline in order to "stack" them where they cross.

The note says to drill one hole 1/8 inch above the spar centerline and the other 1/8 below. Now, unless I am missing something stupidly simple (and most likely I am), would not two 3/16 inch wires need more than 1/4 inch offset...?

Thanks,
